Baby (T^T)

K

ookaburras are born from eggs like other birds.

They can lay one to four eggs at a time and they lay eggs inside a safe place like tree holes.

Baby be like: are you filming me O_O??

Laughing

They are famous because of their laughing sound... But do.. Wait

Ok so they are not actually laughing but giving warning to other kookaburras.

It's also believed that they "laugh" when it's going to rain.

They can be heard normally between dusk and dawn.

The kookaburras distinctive “laugh” is actually warning other kookaburras to stay out of their territory.

Baby kookaburras can laugh? 🤭 yes.

They are so adorable!!! I want to hug them 😭

Family

Young kookaburras stay with the family for several years and family groups of more than 6 are common.

That's all from me.
